Did You Know the First Years of Play Shape How a Child Thinks and Learns?

During the first five years of life, a child’s brain develops up to 90% of its total capacity, forming millions of neural connections every second.

Active, hands-on play (like stacking, sorting, and problem-solving) strengthens these connections and supports key areas such as attention, memory, coordination, and logic. Through sensory-motor learning (touching, moving, exploring), children build the foundation for complex thinking, emotional regulation, and independence.

Because neuroplasticity is at its peak in early childhood, guided play inspired by the Montessori approach helps children learn naturally, fostering lifelong curiosity and cognitive growth.
